Ann Arbor stratifies by relationship to the university. Kerrytown rooms fill with townies who've watched students cycle through for decades, while South University hosts the undergrads who'll be gone in four years. Burns Park draws the faculty families. Old West Side keeps the artist colony energy. North Campus operates in its own graduate-student bubble. West Side adds the working-class roots. The comedy here navigates populations that share a city but rarely share a table. Open mics become neutral ground where town and gown briefly overlap. The comics who honor both find audiences across every graduation year.
